SDSD Newsletter: November 2022
Hello Stage Door Dancers, Families, and Friends,

Feeling thankful, dance families? We sure are because it's November and YOUR FAMILY is part of OUR FAMILY! I'm always inspired by this time of year. Here is to hoping each of you find some time to be inspired by the fall colors, the holidays ahead, and of course your classes with us here at Stage Door School of Dance.

Thank you to all who joined us for our annual Fall Bash which was filled with so many laughs, fun crafts, and lots of spooky dancing! Also a big shout out to all of our dancers who have been participating in our Halloween Costume Week. It's always incredible to see how creative, excited, and sometimes downright silly our dancers are when we see them pirouetting across the floor dressed as a hot dog!

Attendance is highly important this time of year. If you haven't seen them already, Ms. Kim (Director, Costumes) and her team have been coming into all classes to measure our dancers for their recital costumes. Stage Door must order our costumes now to ensure they arrive in time for our June recital.

This also means: If you or your dancer are considering adding a new class to your schedule, now is the best time of year to do so, as it will guarantee we will have a recital costume for your dancer in their new class of choice. After November 5, Stage Door can no longer guarantee that a recital costume will be available to you or your dancer and this may impact your recital participation!

Attendance is also strongly encouraged the week of November 7, as we'll be revealing all of our recital 2022 costumes in class! You won't want to miss this always exciting day, I promise.

We have lots in store for November:

As always, if you have questions regarding our events, programs, classes, the studio, or your Stage Door School of Dance experience, please feel encouraged to reach out to info@stagedoordancer.com, call (631) 654-8858, or stop by the studio during business hours. My incredible staff is here and ready to help in any way they are able to!

Thank you for choosing Stage Door School of Dance as your dance family. Remember, #OnlyAtStageDoor!

Always with gratitude and love,
